Obama's Lack Of Experience

I’ve heard a few comments of people who are very concerned about Barack Obama's lack of experience... people saying he is too young to run for president.
But let’s think about this for a minute… does anyone really have experience being president, before actually BEING a president? Unless they change the law and let Dubya run again (Oh, God! No!), then EVERYONE will be inexperienced… Well, except for Hillary Clinton…
Now, if we talk about having experience as a governor, or some sort of important governmental position, then I am not sure if that should be a prerequisite to run for presidency.
To get an idea of whether experience is something to consider, lets take a look back at some of the past presidents in the US history:

James Buchanan: 29 years
Gerald Ford: 25 years
George H.W. Bush: 17 years
Richard Nixon: 14 years
Bill Clinton: 12 years
Ronald Reagan: 8 years
George W. Bush: 7 years
Abraham Lincoln: 2 years
George Washington: 0 years
Dwight Eisenhower: 0 years

The former president with the most experience, James Buchanan, who had 29 years of service as a representative, senator, ambassador and Secretary of State, is arguably the worst president in the US history. While Abraham Lincoln (with only 2 years experience) and George Washington (with no experience), are considered some of the best. Going by this list, it is difficult to say that more experience is better.
I mean. Haven't we learned in the past 7 years that you really don't need experience (or literacy in Bush’s case) to be president? I don’t think Bush is a bad president because he has little experience compared to other previous presidents… he's just awfully stupid, unwilling to accept different viewpoints and ignorant of reality. It's more than experience what matters. Sure this may be a good point to look at while selecting a candidate, but I truly don’t think it should be the essential reason for choice.

So go for it Barack!
